Use the formula n = c / v, where c is the speed of light and v is the speed of light in the environment, that is, use the speed in brackets and the correct answer will be the one that will be the smallest result

a projectile is launched at an angle of 30 degrees and lands later at the same level. if it's initial speed is 50 m/s, solve for
Mrrafil [7]
using \: the \: formula \\ t = \frac{2u \sin( \alpha ) }{g} where \: u = initial \: speed \: \\ \alpha = angle \: of \: projection \\ g = acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity \\ \frac{2 \times 50 \times \sin(30) }{10} \\ \frac{100 \times 0.5}{10} = \frac{50}{10} = 5seconds

Maximum height
= (Usinα)^2/2g
(50*0.5)^2/20
25^2/20

horizontal distance = Range= [U^2 * sin2α]/g
[50^2 * sin60]/10
2500 * 0.8660/10
2165/10=216.5metres

A cylinder with a moving piston expands from an initial volume of 0.250 L against an external pressure of 2.00 atm. The expansio
Step2247 [10]

The final volume of the gas is 144.25 L

Explanation:

For an ideal gas kept at constant pressure, the work done by the gas on the surroundings is given by

W=p\Delta V = p(V_f - V_i)

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V_i is the initial volume

V_f is the final volume

For the gas in the cylinder in this problem,

p = 2.00 atm

V_i = 0.250 L

And we also know the work done,

W = 288 J

So we can solve the equation for V_f, the final volume:

V_f = V_i + \frac{W}{p}=0.250 + \frac{288}{2.00}=144.25 L

A certain heat engine takes in 300 J of energy from a hot source and then transfers 200 J of that energy to a colder object. Wha
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The efficiency is 0.33, or 33%.

Explanation:

From the thermodynamics equations, we know that the formula for the efficiency of a heat engine is:

\eta=1-\frac{Q_2}{Q_1}

Where η is the efficiency of the engine, Q_1 is the heat energy taken from the hot source and Q_2 is the heat energy given to the cold object. So, plugging the given values in the formula, we obtain:

\eta=1-\frac{200J}{300J}=0.33

This means that the efficiency of the heat engine is 0.33, or 33% (The efficiency of an engine is dimensionless).

When heather grabbed the glass of ice water, the ice cubes were floating at the top. why were the ice cubes floating in the wate
tiny-mole [99]
The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.

How do you find period when you have frequency
nydimaria [60]

Period and frequency are mutual reciprocals.

Period = 1 / frequency .

Frequency = 1 / period

(Frequency) x (Period) = 1
